A multitude of stars were on hand to honor the memory of their late friend Troy Gentry and give back to those in need at the inaugural Troy Gentry Foundation concert, “C’Ya On The Flipside,” held last Wednesday night (1/9) at the Grand Ole Opry House.

Hosted by Blake Shelton and Storme Warren of SiriusXM’s The Highway, ‘C’Ya On The Flipside” included performances by Rascal Flatts, Chris Janson, Dierks Bentley, Jimmie Allen, Eddie Montgomery, Dustin Lynch, and many more who showed up to pay tribute to their friend and raise money for the foundation established by Troy Gentry’s wife, Angie Gentry.

The star-studded, sold-out event raised over $300,000 to benefit The Opry Trust Fund, T.J. Martell, Make-A-Wish, The Journey Home Project and music education in Kentucky schools. Fans can continue to bid on an on-line auction benefiting the foundation here, which will end tonight (1/14) at 6:00 pm CT.

“I’m overwhelmed by the love and support from all of the artists that participated, and from the fans and friends that supported the auction,” said Angie Gentry. “Troy would have been so pleased to see how much good will result from the Foundation’s efforts.”
